He wasn't a fighter, thats the worst part of your post. He was a actor.
There aren't thousands of peopel who fought with him because he only had 1 fight in the US behind closed doors that he lied about with Wong Jack Man. Wong Jack said Bruce was all talk, a 3rd party agreed with Jack, and he put it in the local chinese newspaper that if Bruce had a problem with what he said come see him about it and this time they'll do it in public, and Bruce refused.
He is just like Stallone an actor, its just a lot of racists who look at anything asian as "special" and probably believe in asian martial arts as being realistic or historically sound instead of realizing that shyt is largely derived from asian traveling theater.
Bruce Lee is not a fighter, he is a actor, Norris and Van Damme are more accomplished "fighters" and they only did point shyt. Stop mystifying him for no reason, where there are actually proven people to this day who engaged in full contact fighting.
